Enclosure: David Kerr's comments to David Trimble on UUP paper on Decommissioning – realities and options

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

In a document addressed to David Trimble on 30 June 1997, David Kerr seeks clarification on the establishment and operational readiness of the Disarmament and Verification Commission under the Northern Ireland Decommissioning Act 1997. David Kerr emphasizes the necessity for the Secretary of State to ensure the Commission is prepared to receive paramilitary weaponry by 15 September 1997, and insists on a clear, written timetable for the decommissioning process. The document stresses that disarmament should not be contingent on political negotiations and that the subcommittee on Decommissioning should only serve as an intermediary without directive powers. Additionally, David Kerr expresses concerns about Sinn Féin's potential refusal to disarm, arguing that they are not the PIRA, and insists that paramilitary organizations must demonstrate their commitment to the democratic process by disarming to maintain credibility in the negotiations.
